** To find a missionary on the missionary search page, you can search either by missionary last name on the alphabetical bar at the top of the page or by the airports listed.

.Sending a Package or Cargo to Missionaries
The cost to transport packages and cargo is $4.00 per pound. We ask that you make a donation to help defray these costs. These costs include fuel, oil, landing fees, etc. The missionaries contribute $1.50 of that total amount, but your donation of the entire $4.00 will greatly benefit both the missionaries and Agape Flights. Please either make an Online Donation or tape an envelope, with your check inside, addressed to "Agape Flights" on the outside of the box. If you are sending a check in, we ask that you make sure to provide us with enough information to identify the packages and the missionary to whom you are sending the packages and/or cargo to. If you have any questions regarding this process, please call us at 941.488.0990.
Packages and cargo should be addressed the same as mail to missionaries (noted above). However, we have a few pointers for you to keep in mind while packing these packages.
1. Try to keep individual packages to 40 pounds or less. This helps with loading the plane, accounting for costs of shipping and distribution at the end destination.
2. Please try to pack the packages as full as possible to try to avoid any crushing or destruction during shipment.
3. Seal your boxes with tape, but do not wrap in paper. Customs officials may remove the paper during inspection, which can result in the loss of address information.
4. Please be sure to include a return address and write a brief description of the contents on the outside of the box.
5. If you are sending something to the Dominican Republic that has a high dollar value, please include a letter (preferably on letterhead) in each box that states that the items in the boxes are for missionaries to use in their ministry for the benefit for the people of the Dominican Republic.
6. We can transport large or unusual shapes. Please call or email us if you think your package might need special consideration.
If you are a missionary looking to send a package back to the United States, please follow the information on Outbound Package/Cargo to the U.S.
